I know (almost) everyone is still upset about missing the steal... um, deal of the year, but does anyone know anything about this:

http://www.applelover.org/android-30-p-1088.html

I saw this and instantly thought SCAM ALERT!!! But what if it's not? If it's true, this can certainly make up for missing that other deal. Also noteworthy, this is a presale. Another thing that I was leery of with the Xoom already officially in stores...
[Xoom General] DarkDvr:
Yeah, I'm sooo calling shenanigans on this.

So many red flags all over this.

Besides, shipping date May 31? Yeah..
[Xoom General] nindoja:
They must be working on a different calendar than we are, because you only get the special pricing before "28th Jeb"
[Xoom General] Mantara:
Scam... order by Jeb? Jebuary? Oh yeah that's the month that comes after Nevember and before I-lost-500$-uary. If it's a realty good deal you are being taken for a ride.
[Xoom General] Apaca1ypse:
A co-worker showed me this and I told him don't jump out the window for it till I poll the community. That Jeb part definitely flagged me!!
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
The name of the tablet also seems to be photoshopped onto the Xoom... It might be a scam or just a very cheap knock-off from Shenzhen. Either way, I am still waiting for my 25% Xoom :)
[Xoom General] Apaca1ypse:
Sad part is, I was investigating this for my buddy around the time you guys were making off like bandits. He sidetracked me from my normal XDA browsing time!:mad:
[Xoom General] Dante_l1:
I want one...I love my Xoom but this other thing has the ability to "access various types of flies, whatever the source". Take that Motorola!
[Xoom General] mitch27:
If you look at one of the photos, on the back of the device they have tape over "XOOM 12".

I thought I recognized that long sleeve black sweater... He got some of the pics from these guys i think. (Look at silver sticker on third pic down). They are the same unit.

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2011/01/motorola-announces.ars

Looks like a pic from a beta version of the XOOM. My opinion, you're better off spending your money on 500 fortune cookies and playing the lottery with the numbers on the back.
[Xoom General] vamp6x6x6x:
I can't say 100% but I think it is a scam...I mean even knock-offs don't look 100% the same as the original.
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
+1 on sarcasm!
[Xoom General] Earthbrain:
Wow, thank you op for letting us know about this great deal. I did not want to miss out on a great deal like that 25% off coupon.

I quickly ordered it and I got an immediate email saying that it will be shipped on Mirch 2, 2011. That was quick.

I was about to spend $500 on my weekly ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) but I jumped on this great deal instead.

Thanks again OP.
[Xoom General] Apaca1ypse:
Wow... Really? I guess there's one in every group. Try this thing called reading before you write. The main purpose of this was to show my buddy I wasn't the only one who saw this as bogus. Thank you however on your insight. We are all definitely a lot better for it!!
[Xoom General] ocdtrekkie:
He was trolling.
[Xoom General] Droid.Modr:
I really like the part where it says that they have 90 units in stock. Then just a couple lines lower they say "Only 95 units left"! You better buy it quickly.

It seems my new archos 101 auto rotates all over the place. any issues from anyone else. it seems to want to go to landscape with the Archos 101 upside down. It seems to go to the position I am not looking at......

It seems my only solution it to turn off auto rotate which keeps it in landscape mode.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdl1908:
Have you tried to do the Accelerometer calibration?

You should place your device horizontal on a flat surface and use the Repair & Formatting -> Accelerometer calibration.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zd0s:
go to settings

then repair & formatting,

then accelerometer calibration and follow the instructions.

feel free to give me some thanks!!!

EDIT: oops someone else posted while i was sorry!
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anubis66:
Also after calibration, I suggest getting the app "rotation toggler", I feel its a must have.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] secfincorp:
i have done this a few times thanks I did try that it seems right after I do that it flips upside down in portrait position. I will try rotation toggler...
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anubis66:
Almost sounds like a faulty device if you have tried to recalibrate multiple times and are still getting the same results. Hope you have not done anything to void your warranty.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] secfincorp:
It seems to be fixed

Just an update I havent messed around with the 101 due to work but found on another board on another site that when calibrating put the archos flat on a level surface instead of on its side and shazam. IT WORKED no more flipping upside down in landscape mode. It has made me like this thing alot more.....

I am looking for a way to reset the stock sd card in my TMOUS hd2 back to factory settings. I went a little crazy with the cab files and such and i would like to start fresh but i dont want to delete anything by accident. i dont really care about backing up any personal stuff just really want a clean slate because my sd is a disaster zone. any help would be greatly appreciated.

[HD2 General] nenol:
You could partition your SD card.

There are many, many ways to do this, depending on what you have available.

I would recommend you search this website for 'partition SD card' and pick a How-To that matches your capability.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I suggest calling or going by your local T-Mobile store. They sboulders .e able to tell you what files where orrigianaly on the sd card. I have the same problem as you and wish I would have done a back ul of my sd card before I everett added anything to it. I am not ready to totally clean my sd card yet though so I have not done my own suggestion yet.
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
why not make it easy on yourself? copy everything to your computer. format your card. copy back what you want. worked for me. :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Segnale007:
Hello folks, I am very concerned with my HTC HD2 as it takes like over 4 hours to fully recharge the battery. I have got this HD2 from the market here on XDA and it works very good overall, except for this problem when recharging it. I thought it was the charger and I have tried many usb to wall chargers even the the iPhone's 4 one, but nothing has changed.

I have also tried several roms and kernels but nothing has changed on this side as well. I wiped everything and put back win mobile 6.5 T-mobile stock rom, but hey, no difference here too..

I am wondering if there might be something wrong with the phone itself or can it be the battery going in holiday???....

How can I figure this out???

I have downloaded Battery Doctor from the market and it says the battery is in good health, and I get up to 14 hours with a full charge with mytouch 4G rom and kernel rafpigna 1.7 cpu 1.3Ghz OC.

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem ??? do you guys have any suggests ???

This problem is driving me really crazy...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
Get a new battery, mine only takes 2 hours when completely dead.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Segnale007:
You think is the battery?? but I get up to 14 hours of usage, I am not sure if its that good though, but I heard this phone is a sucky battery, and anyways why Battery doctor says the battery is in good health ??

Anyways I was thinking to get the battery extended 2300mah :D

How many hours does your battery last???
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] secano:
Are you using the original HD2 charger? I have tried many different chargers and they always charge at a different rate. It has to be that, not the battery.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Segnale007:
Unfortunately it came with its original charger broken and I have never had the pleasure to try with it.. Anyways I am using a charger that has the same specs of the original one, which is the usb charger of the iPhone 4, and yea same result ...

I have downloaded currentwidget from the market and it gets less than 200mA of current in, when it usually should get around 400mA, sometimes the value goes down to 200mA as well, which makes me really wonder the problem might be the usb port of the phone :( .

Does a broken battery does that as well??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] roloracer:
I think it has to do with the charger you're using . When I charge mine I usually see anything from 500+mA to 700+mA on my battery monitor widget depending on how much charge the battery has, and like Segnale007 said it usually takes about 2 hrs to fully charge.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] secano:
I can't say it's the battery cause you say it lasts you 14 hours, usb port? maybe. Your battery is good for it to last that much (on averge usage of course). It's the different charger that you're using.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Segnale007:
The charger I am using its the iphone 4 charger and just like the original one its a 100-240V ~ 0.2A 50-60HZ , which I have no idea about what it means, but I can guarantee u its the same ..

So, what charger do you suggest me to buy?? I wish it was everything except the phone ...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xaccers:
That's your issue there, 0.2A (aka 200mA).

The UK HD2 charger for example, is 1A (aka 1000mA).

To work out the maximum time it should take to charge the battery:

(capacity x inefficiency factor) / charging current

(1230 x 1.15)/200 = 7 hours

(1230 x 1.15)/1000 = 1.4 hours
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Segnale007:
Oh gosh, so ur basically telling me its the charger I am using what is ****ing up with the slow charging ???

Can you please point me at a good one???

I am totally ignorant about electricity and stuff like that ...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] yugoport:
That charger only delievers 0.2 A which is 200ma , you need at least a 500ma charger, mine is a 1 A ( 1000 ma ) and its quite normal to see a 700 ma rate while charging..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xaccers:
Take a look on ebay or any local phone shop/online phone accessory shop.

You want a micro usb charger that has an output current of at least 500mA/0.5A

The original HTC ones are 1000mA.

Blackberry ones I've seen are 700mA so they're good enough.

200mA isn't a problem, it won't damage your battery, in fact it will live slightly longer as it's being put under less stress when charging, but don't use your phone while you're charging with it as you'll be drawing more current than the charger can supply.

So for instance, if you wanted a car charger so you could use the phone as a satnav and talk via bluetooth, you'd need a 1A charger to cope with the drain on the battery.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Segnale007:
Alright thanks, will let you know :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
With very, very light use about 55 hrs. That's not extended.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Segnale007:
Alright, my dad has managed to temporary fix its original charger and I can confirm there's nothing wrong with the battery and the phone itself. It gets beyond 800mA with the original charger and fully recharge the batter within an hour and half, which is great..

Ok now I have to find a compatible USB to wall charger with the same frequency.

Since its a T-Mobile US HD2 its original charger is american, and since I am in Italy I'd get an Italian standard wall charger. Does the Italian HD2 original wall charger has the same frequency of the american one??

Thanks

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeeBG:
Hey guys, I should have posted this about a month (maybe even longer) ago, but I've been dealing with some health issues and couldn't be bothered. First off I have a rooted phone (with S-OFF) but I like keeping the stock sense build. I upgraded OTA to 2.2 some time ago, then there was an OTA update a few months after that (which I was able to install without any problems after I replaced a couple of files that had gotten modified), now this newer OTA update refuses to install.

It tells me it needs to reboot to start installing so I click the button to reboot and it counts down, but it never reboots. Is it somehow detecting that my phone is rooted? I would like to have the most up to date OTA update installed on my phone at all times so any help or ideas would be great (also I'm sorry if this has been covered before, I did search but I've been afk for a bit so I might have missed some things).

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Read this thread, it tells you how to get back to 2.2 stock, then download the latest Unrevoked to root again and obtain s-off...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeeBG:
Blah I have to go back to 2.2 stock? Oh well, it's not the worse thing in the world (I already had to do it once) and those are great instructions (plus I've wanted to have the latest version of Clockworkmod installed for a while and using Unrevoked means I won't have to mess with the payload/su/etc files). Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeeBG:
I also thought of something (kind of late though). I was using a custom kernel, which might have been the issue too. But I went ahead and re-enabled S-On, however now for some reason my phone is checking for errors on my SD card (no idea how long it will take, or why it's doing that), but does anyone have a link for that 17.7mb file of the 3.26.605.1 update? I found the full RUU, but it's huge and I rather just upgrade than possibly wipe everything out (and I don't know when my phone will have the OTA ready again). Thanks for any help!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigsapz:
Is it necessary to update or downgrade then upgrade the OS?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeeBG:
That seems to be what that linked thread says, but I don't believe that is correct (that's why I am looking for that 17.7mb OTA file). I was able to install the first 2.2 update (aka 2.2.1) without issue after I restored some files that were altered (either by rooting or installing the wireless tether app that's hosted on Google Code). However this OTA update (aka 2.2.2) isn't popping up again for me to install, so I am going to see if I can extract just the upgrade data from the official RUU. I have to wait until later tonight because I need my phone to be operational for another few hours but I'll post back with results (and files if need be =).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeeBG:
Yeah I tried the RUU update and as expected it did a total wipe... bringing back system via nandroid and will try something else.

Edit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=969973 <= using Jay's thread, which is much like the post that was first given to me in this thread. Not re-enabling S-ON seems to be the problem... lesson learned, don't try shortcuts unless you know what you are doing (and I've been afk from the "Dinc Scene" too long for that =p.

Hi everybody.

I'm come from Vietnam, where the Facebook is now banned.

We need someone to write a program to update the host file in /system/etc/ by just a touch.

Please copy the IP from http://armabloggin.com/2009/07/facebook-dns-block-fix/

to the host file (like AdFree program).

We cannot edit this file by Astro because it read-only. We don't know how to S-OFF our Android.

Thank you so much.
[Android Software Development] rwxer:
I thought that AdFree is for rooted phones only.
[Android Software Development] keemyb:
Here's the host file

I've modified the host file for you but I don't think you can get much further until you root your phone, giving yourself access to system/etc/ where the "hosts" file is for replacement.

Remove the .txt extension and replace it with your hosts file in /system/etc/ after rooting.

If your phone cannot be rooted at http://unrevoked.com/ have a look on the sub forum here for your phone.
[Android Software Development] Meltus:
As previously stated, changing any system file is impossible without root.

Why can't you use a one-click-rooting program? There are plenty around that work for quite a lot of phones. If that doesn't work there will be device specific guides available, unless it's a phone that can't be rooted (is there any?).
[Android Software Development] vietnam123:
Sorry, I've already root the HTC Desire by Unrevoked.com and have RA-recovery.

I mean that I don't have S-OFF in my device.

I also used Astro to copy the host file to SD Card and edited it. But I cannot replace the host file to system/etc/.

So I need you help write a mini-soft like AdFree.
[Android Software Development] mistake37:
Have you tried using adb to push the hosts file (in recovery) or root explorer? No need to S-OFF.
[Android Software Development] vietnam123:
I think a soft will easy to use for everyone, don't need experiment in adb, root or s-off.

Anyone developer can make it easy?
[Android Software Development] PsHegger:
I think the problem is that you didn't mounted the system partition. Try ES FileExplorer, it can work as root and can mount partitions
